When i play music, when i write music, it come from the depths of my soul. i don't look at the notes, i don't plan or scheme it is not a calculated process. i don't want it to be. It come from such depths from the sound resonating through the core of my bones the echo's of my soul x.com/MasterLogician…

🇮🇳 🇺🇸 Warning to Americans and White people. Racism is normal human behavior. Indians are foreign group competing for your resources. They are competition. There is nothing stupid in wanting to keep the hostile foreigners out. And Indians have their Indian plans of taking over America. White people in the last couple of decades believe in silly idea that foreign groups are benign and don't have their own group interests that are contrary to our own interests.

@hot_cocoa_girl lol

My dad and mom went to Croatian catholic mass yesterday and keep mentioning how the men were hot. We are not Croatian and we are ex-catholic

@hot_cocoa_girl why being white is awesome

I’m constantly excluding people from whiteness tbh. My latina roommate in college had the same urge. Our friend said he was white and we both were like no you’re not (he had Afro-textured hair)

@BlackAnarchism @nxt888 i mean in many cases the tribes were just selling their criminals and political rivals. Slavery was normalized at that time. Portugal had only just been liberated from Islamic rule under which slavery is normalized.

@MasterLogician_ @nxt888 Meia-verdade. Esse ocorrido descreve apenas os primeiros contatos, os anos iniciais. Logo após, Portugal desenvolveu um sistema de sequestro própria de escravizados, seja através de expedições ou do colonialismo/dominação das nações/tribos.

If white people deserve exclusive credit for "ending slavery," then white people built the system, ran the system, defended the system, went to war to preserve the system, and then at the very last moment, after centuries of resistance from the people inside it made it unsustainable, signed the paper. And kept all the credit. That's not a legacy of moral leadership. That's a legacy of owning the pen.

What if I told you that there were Vikings who settled in France, and within 2 generations(!) conquered southern Italy and built one of the most sophisticated kingdoms in medieval Europe. A breakdown: 🔹The Normans were descendants of Norse settlers granted land in northern France in 911. By the mid-11th century, landless younger sons were hunting opportunity wherever they could find it , and they found it in southern Italy. 🔹They arrived as mercenaries, fighting for Lombard lords and Byzantine governors. Then they decided they preferred to rule for themselves. 🔹The Hauteville family led the conquest. Robert Guiscard and his brother Roger I seized Apulia, Calabria, and Sicily from Muslim control through a grinding thirty-year campaign that ended in 1091. 🔹In 1130, Roger II united the southern Italian territories under a single crown, becoming the first King of Sicily, one of the wealthiest rulers in Europe, presiding over a kingdom larger than England. 🔹Palermo, the capital, held around 300,000 people , rivaling Cairo and Constantinople. It was one of the great cities of the medieval world. 🔹The kingdom was formally trilingual: Arabic, Greek, and Latin were all official court languages. Norman French made a fourth. No other medieval European state operated this way. 🔹Muslim officials served in the royal administration. Arab geographers, doctors, and astronomers worked at court. The Norman kings wore robes inscribed with Arabic calligraphy and styled themselves in the manner of Eastern potentates. 🔹Roger II commissioned the Tabula Rogeriana (1154) from the Arab geographer Al-Idrisi, the most accurate world map of the medieval era, drawn with south at the top in the Islamic tradition. 🔹Norman churches fused Latin Romanesque architecture with Byzantine mosaics and Arab muqarnas ceilings. The Palatine Chapel in Palermo is the supreme expression of this synthesis, a building that belongs to no single civilisation. 🔹The Assizes of Ariano (1140) were a sweeping royal law code asserting the king's supremacy over church and nobility alike, a centralising act that prefigured absolutism by three centuries. 🔹The Norman fleet dominated the central Mediterranean at its height, raiding North Africa and briefly holding territories on the Tunisian coast. Sicily was a naval power as much as a land one. 🔹The dynasty ended without a male heir. Roger II's aunt Constance married Holy Roman Emperor Henry VI, passing the kingdom to the Hohenstaufen line, and producing Frederick II, arguably the most remarkable ruler of the entire Middle Ages. 🔹Frederick II, who spoke six languages, wrote poetry, conducted scientific experiments, and negotiated with the Sultan of Egypt while on Crusade, was essentially the product of Norman Sicily's cultural inheritance made flesh. 🔹The Sicilian Vespers of 1282, a spontaneous popular uprising that killed thousands of French Angevin soldiers in a single night, ended the last attempt at unified control of the island. The kingdom fractured and never recovered its former coherence. 🔹The Norman Kingdom of Sicily lasted barely 150 years as an independent entity. It remains the only medieval European state that formally tried to integrate Islamic, Byzantine, and Latin Christian traditions as equal pillars of governance. What strikes me most is how completely they've been forgotten. The Norman Kingdom of Sicily was richer than England, more sophisticated than France, and more tolerant than anywhere in Christendom. It lasted 150 years and shaped Frederick II, who shaped the rest of the Middle Ages. And almost nobody knows it existed.

Relationships have always been difficult. The modern dating market just adds new ways for people to damage each other. I would not rule out someone with a complicated past. The specifics matter. Did she experiment when she was young, or was there betrayal, chaos, open relationship ideology, or a pattern of poor boundaries? For me it is less about body count and more about character, honesty, self-control, and whether we can build something stable together. Men should be allowed to have standards, but attacking women or blackballing them completely only makes the problem worse. We have to be honest with each other without turning every wounded person into an enemy

@MasterLogician_ @JackNapierNot Yeah, but doing those times there was arrange marriages, nowadays it's a warzone.

Lauren Southern made a great point when she said that what made Destiny so attractive to her was his lack of shaming her for her sexual past and urges. Something conservative men would like to keep in mind next time they hoover the bible over a woman's head when they want to sleep with her.

Wasps, the Sigma Chads of the Garden Wasps are almost universally reviled for challenging us over our 4th of July hot dogs and beer. And honestly, they have some nerve. There I am, feet dangling in a mountain stream, cracking open a beer after a hike, minding my own giant primate business, when the infamous yellowjacket appears. This little striped bastard really looks at me, a full-grown human with opposable thumbs and the wizardly powers of modern science at my disposal, and decides, “You opened fermented grain water in my jurisdiction. You owe me tribute.” The audacity is almost beautiful. Typically, I respond with diplomacy in the ancient primate tradition. A clean backhand flick sends my challenger tumbling into a solid object, where it sits stunned for a minute or two before rebooting its tiny murder computer and flying away to reconsider the beer-tax economy. But here’s the thing. I kind of love wasps. I respect the chutzpah. They are natural-born killers. They eat spiders, aphids, caterpillars, flies, larvae, and all kinds of soft-bodied garden freeloaders. Some of them go full body-horror goblin mode and incorporate pest corpses directly into their reproductive cycle. Aphids become mummies. Caterpillars become nurseries. Spiders get packed into mud tombs like emergency rations. Nature is not a Disney movie and, sometimes the thing protecting your garden is not a fuzzy little pollinator monk. Sometimes it is a paranoid winged knife-goblin with no PR department. Most wasps do not care about humans unless there are a lot of them in one place, in which case, yes, run. But most of the little wasps you see working flowers are tiny predators or parasitoids. They lay eggs in garden pests and quietly run a free pest-control program while everybody gives bees all the credit. You can support your local wasp by planting flowers that give them nectar. They especially like small, shallow flowers they can actually access. Sweet alyssum is one of my favorites. It pumps out nectar, stays pretty hardy, and turns the garden into a tavern for tiny beneficial assassins. What works varies by climate, but wildflowers, native perennials, and native grasses all help feed the ecology above and below ground. Wasps are the garden’s black-ops division.

@JackNapierNot he literally created women and told us to be fruitful and multiply. he invented sex/love

@MasterLogician_ Jesus didn't get me laid!

It does not surprise me that Nature is not sacred to judaism, xtiantiy and islum. These religions originated from desert nomads. people for whom nature was a constant enemy. Only what they carry in their minds is sacred to them and the world itself can burn for all they care.

A Stanford psychologist spent 4 years proving that the simple act of walking generates 60% more creative ideas than sitting, and the experiment she designed to kill every alternative explanation is one of the most decisive findings in modern psychology. Her name is Marily Oppezzo. She got the idea for the study while walking with her advisor at Stanford to discuss her thesis topic, and the paper she eventually published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology in 2014 is sharp enough that it should have ended the seated meeting on the day it came out. She ran 4 experiments on 176 people. Same person tested twice. Once sitting, once walking. The creativity tasks were the standard ones psychologists have used for decades to measure how good a brain is at generating novel useful ideas. The result was almost too clean to publish. 81% of participants in the first experiment produced more creative ideas while walking than while sitting. In the second experiment, 88%. In the third, 100%. Every single person walked into a more creative version of themselves. On average, people generated 60% more novel useful ideas the moment their legs started moving. The skeptical question is the obvious one. Maybe it was the fresh air. Maybe it was the scenery passing by. Maybe it was the change of environment doing the work, not the walking itself. Oppezzo killed every one of those explanations with one experimental decision. She put people on a treadmill facing a blank wall. No scenery. No fresh air. No environmental change. Just legs moving in place while staring at white drywall. The 60% boost held. Then she ran the experiment that closed the case completely. She took participants outside in two conditions. Half of them walked through a Stanford courtyard. The other half were pushed through the exact same courtyard in a wheelchair. Same outdoor stimulation. Same scenery passing at the same speed. The only difference was whether the legs were moving. The walkers produced dramatically more novel high-quality ideas than the wheelchair group. The outdoors did almost nothing on its own. The walking did everything. This is the part of the study that hit hardest when I read it the first time. She also tested the opposite kind of thinking. Convergent thinking. The kind where there is one right answer and you have to narrow down to it. Word puzzles where 3 words share a hidden fourth word that connects them. The seated participants did slightly better on these. Walkers got slightly worse. Walking is not a general intelligence enhancer. It does one specific thing. It opens up the divergent search inside your brain. The part that generates options. The part that produces unexpected connections. The part that takes a problem and finds five ways into it instead of one. When you need to converge on the single right answer, sit down. When you need to find the answer in the first place, get up. The mechanism is now well understood. Walking selectively activates what neuroscientists call the default mode network, the system inside your brain that runs when you are not consciously focused on anything. The DMN is where mind-wandering happens. Where memories cross-reference each other. Where ideas that have been sitting in separate folders inside your head finally bump into each other. When you sit at a desk and force yourself to concentrate, you suppress the DMN. When you walk at a natural pace, the executive part of your brain gets just busy enough handling the walking that the DMN comes online and starts doing the work that focus was blocking. The most useful finding in the entire paper is the one almost nobody quotes. The boost did not turn off the moment people stopped walking. Participants who walked first and then sat back down stayed elevated. Their next round of seated creativity work was still significantly better than people who had been sitting the whole time. The rest lingered for at least several minutes after the legs stopped moving. You do not need to do creative work while walking. You need to walk before the creative work. The brain holds the state. The history of this is the part that should haunt anyone who still does meetings in chairs. Charles Darwin built a gravel loop behind his house in Kent called the Sandwalk and walked it 3 times a day for the rest of his life. The theory of evolution was developed one lap at a time on that path. Nietzsche walked up to 10 hours a day during the years he wrote his most important books and openly said the work was conceived on his feet. Beethoven composed for the morning and walked for 5 hours every afternoon with a pencil in his pocket for when something landed. Kahneman said the best thinking of his Nobel Prize-winning career happened on leisurely walks with Amos Tversky. Steve Jobs refused to take important conversations sitting down. He held them on foot. Every one of them was using the system Oppezzo would not measure until 2014. They just did not know what to call it. The question worth sitting with is the one almost nobody asks. Every meeting you have ever attended sitting around a table was a meeting held at a fraction of the brain power that was actually available to the people in the room. Every brainstorm that got stuck inside a conference room. Every problem you tried to solve at a desk and gave up on. Every idea you could not quite get to. The intervention is the easiest one in modern science. No supplement. No app. No subscription. No training program. Just a pair of legs and 15 minutes. The Stanford lab proved it. The philosophers knew it. The neuroscience explains it. And almost everyone reading this is still trying to think their way out of problems sitting completely still.

A friend in LA says people have started doing this SF ritual: if they lock their car, they assume a break-in is coming. Calling the cops is pointless. So they leave the doors unlocked, windows down, even the back hatch open as a signal to crooks there's nothing worth stealing. That is what "crime is down" looks like after reporting collapses. The official numbers "improve" because people stop bothering to even report, because they know nothing will happen, and the people are forced to reorganize their entire day-to-day lives around open, pervasive criminal impunity.

This is a real video, not from any movie. In Vietnam war, when a bridge was destroyed by US Air Force and Vietnamese soldiers had to escape, women made this temporary bridge to cross and stood in water for hours. No way you can win a people’s war.

🚨Canada is now using Communist style tactics and The Mental Health Act to medically incarcerate people with dissenting Views. This man, Nicholas Jordan Wagter, was declared “certified” without so much as a psychiatric evaluation and forceably detained for having dissenting views of the government. In the Soviet Union, they invented “sluggish schizophrenia” to lock up political dissidents in psychiatric hospitals for years. China does the same today with Falun Gong practitioners, Uyghurs, and anyone questioning the CCP. Cuba still uses psychiatric wards as political prisons.

2018 Psych doctor: "You have been an alcoholic for 20 years and you are going through a divorce and custody issues and you quit your job? Even though you came in drunk, you are Bipolar." 2019 Psych nurse: "If you don't take your meds, you won't get out of this psych ward." 2020 CYS: "If you don't take your meds, you won't see your child." 2021 Social Worker: "If you don't take your meds I will tell your probation officer. I can make your life easy or a living hell." 2022 Probation Officer: "If you don't take your meds, you won't get out of jail and will remain in jail for another 14 months. You are a danger to yourself and the community. You have to admit you have a disease. It's not your fault. You have a chemical imbalance. This is something you are going have to deal with for the rest of your life." 2023 Psychiatrist: "You aren't Bipolar, you have PTSD!!! You were misdiagnosed!!! Our bad. Psychiatry is more of an art than a science." Me: "That's ok. I didn't mind spending a total of 15 months in jail, a year and a half on house arrest, paying over $20,000 in fines, court cost, and supervised child visits, losing 6 years of proper child parent bonding, being charged with a DUI from med withdrawal and authorities thinking my meds were opiates losing my driver's license for a year trying to run a business, and numerous other criminal charges from the effects of the meds. I'm just glad I didn't get that lifelong diagnosis strain of mental illness." Psychiatrist: "Here are some letters that should make up for all that. Just don't make them public to discredit our "life long" diagnose and medicate business model. It might give people hope and question the legitimacy of the current mental health modalities." Obviously I am paraphrasing, but some are actual quotes. You can hear the whole story in the first 8 minutes of the video in my pinned post. #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealthMatters #MentalHealth

If you want to live longer, read this. Here are 6 underrated tools that EXTEND LIFESPAN in research: #1 Glycine Glycine increases lifespan by up to ~28% across different organisms. Glycine counteracts the pro-aging effects of excess methionine, a major component of muscle meat. It's able to do this through the GNMT enzyme - which absorbs extra methyl groups from methionine. Those extra methyl groups otherwise alter global gene expression, disrupting several health promoting processes. Glycine is in connective tissues from animal foods (bone broth, fish skins, chicken bones, etc.) It's also dosed at 3-6g as a supplement (a bit higher than this to reflect the lifespan extending effects in animals). #2 Selenium Incredibly - selenium COMPLETELY prevented death over the two year study period in a recent paper. 100% of animals given selenium survived to two years. Less than 50% of the control animals survived. Insane! They showed: ◇ Better insulin sensitivity ◇ Less cell senescence (aging) ◇ Lower inflammation ◇ Better body composition ◇ Less hair greying due to selenium's critical role in selenoproteins. Mainly in mushrooms and animal foods. #3 Coenzyme Q10 One study for instance showed that ~25 mg human equivalent)of CoQ10 increased: ◇ Average lifespan by 17% ◇ Median lifespan by nearly 26% in animals fed sunflower oil, but there was NO benefit in animals fed fish oil or virgin olive oil. A recent review concluded: "Thus, it seems that CoQ10 is useful to counteract the consequences of unhealthy diets that 'accelerate' the aging process, but it has no additional effects under more favorable conditions." But, in real life, almost nobody has "favorable conditions" - we all encounter way more toxins, stressors and poor diet than an animal in a research study ever will. CoQ10 is found in small amounts in beef heart and liver, and of course as a supplement. #4 Astaxanthin A recent study showed it extends lifespan by ~12%. Male animals saw this benefit with inclusion of it in the diet. Astaxanthin is a potent antioxidant found in red seafood, and also regulates key genes: ✧ SIRT1 - anti-inflammatory, increases metabolic gene expression ✧ FOXO3 - controls autophagy, ups DNA repair + antioxidant enzymes ✧ Klotho - regulates calcium balance, fibrosis ✧ NRF2 - master antioxidant gene regulator #5 Urolithin A One study showed it was able to extend lifespan by ~14-19%. Urolithin A is a bacterial metabolite of certain polyphenols found in pomegranate and strawberries. Roughly 30 mg human equivalent in animals was shown to increase: ◇ Max lifespan by ~14% ◇ Median lifespan at 80th %ile mortality by ~19% Urolithin A promotes the process of mitophagy - which clears old / damaged mitochondria and thus improves whole body metabolic health #6 Nicotinamide Mononucleotide This study showed that females consuming NMN had longer lifespans by around 9% (bottom left). In both genders, NMN lowered the frailty score, which is a key indicator of aging, measuring things like: ◇ Skin condition ◇ Hair loss ◇ Tumors ◇ Digestive issues and more. NMN is a precursor to NAD+, a central molecule in metabolism and gene regulation, that declines with aging.

E-Skater here. Banning them for kids under 14 is not a terrible idea, but how do you tell how old riders are? ridiculous. A better thing to do is require full face helmets elbows knees torso. once you can go over 15 easily, more protection is required. Unless you like road rash. Women will want to just ban them. That is female logic for you, and it is stupid. There is no safety bad shit will happen not matter what we do. make sure your kids eat shit early on so they learn the street protection is their friend.

Feminists never talk about this because it was a classic example of the real world debunking their fantasy of gender pay gap. >Google >Conducted internal pay equity study in 2019 >Expected to find women underpaid compared to men >Instead discovered more men were underpaid for similar work >Gave pay raises to thousands of men (majority of $9.7 million went to men) >Feminists and media immediately called the study “flawed” This is what happens when a company actually checks the real data instead of pushing the narrative.

Joshua Macin says he released hundreds of worms, and he has the photos to prove it. Before any of those worms came out, his US parasite test told him he was completely clean. He didn't believe it. His gut was destroyed and something was clearly living inside him. When he finally treated himself the right way, the first thing to come out was a roundworm the size of an earthworm. He says that was the death that had been inside him. Then came hundreds more. Macin says we are told parasites are a third world problem and that we are cleaner here. He says that is a lie. They are just as common in America, and our tests are too broken to catch them. — Josh Macin (@MacinJoshua) on Mikhaela Fuller's (@MikhailaFuller) podcast
